Humans have astonishing ability to quickly pay attention to parts of the image instead of processing the whole scene in its entirety. Simulating such selective attention mechanism of Human Visual System (HVS), which commonly referred as visual attention prediction or visual saliency detectionIn this paper, the terms attention, saliency, and eye fixation are used interchangeably., is a classic research area
in the fields of computer vision and neuroscience. This modeling not only gives an insight into HVS, but also shows much potential in areas such as image cropping, object recognition [1]}, visual tracking [2]}, object segmentation [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, video understanding [6]}, [7]}, [8]}, [9]}, [10]}, to name a few.
